Pontymoile Basin Slipway

Pontymoile Basin Slipway is one of three launch points on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, the others being Pencelli Bridge and Goytre Wharf.

Located at Pontymoile Basin in Pontypool, the slipway sits approximately 50 metres from the car park and provides access to the canal for portable and trailable craft.

The basin itself marks a historically significant junction where two canal companies connected their waterways in 1812, completing a transport route between Brecon and Newport.

Today it serves as a winding point for narrowboats and a popular put-in for canoeists and paddlers exploring the restored navigation southward toward Five Locks.
